When Ubisoft tell me they are flying a rocket to the moon, I usually start cleaning my roof for when they land on it. Now it looks like I need to clean my basement out too.

The LIMITED adoption of 4k in gaming, TV, etc. is the point he is making. Just because a small group (early adopters) of a small group (dedicated PC gamers) of a small group (gamers in general) are doing it does not mean that it is convenient for the largest of the small group (gamers). You seem to think that because you do something the rest of the world will do it, should do it, or already is doing it. Doesn't work that way. |
You don't need to be dedicated to experience 4k gaming. As you know, PCs have been capable of 4k resolutions for a very long time. Also, 4k televisions are getting very cheap.

I dunno what you've heard, but the PC is a lot farther ahead of consoles than you may think.

The sad thing is that you have to sacrifice convenience just to match up with the price savings you'd receive on a PC. What's the point of buying a used PS4 in 2015 and waiting months to buy your games when you can build a PC _now_ and buy your games on release and experience the same savings? Then you talk about 4k gaming as if it's not already here. Well, I've got news for you, buddy. It is here, and people are playing their games in it right now. |
You trying to get me banned? Please stop replying to me cause I would be tempted to respond to you. Never before have I seen anyone as myopic and views or a perspective as limited as yours.
There is nothing sad about making concessions to maximize savings. Please try and understand that. Take me for instnace, I buy on average 7-8 games per year. All brand new. That is simply cause i don't have the time to play as much as I used to. I may throw in 2-3 more smaller games in there. Now get this, lets say some of my 8 games consists of Destiny, ACU, TLoU, DC, Watchdogs, GTAV, TLOtR and Farcry 3... I don't have to buy every single one of those games on launch day. Its not gonna kill me in any way if i hold some of them off, especially those that realease close to eachother. No sense buying a game and leaving it sitting in a wrapper for 2 months before i come around to playing it. This is a life personal choice, not a concession or compromise.
Now the silly thing about me is that I insist on buyingeverything digitally, so I would still end up paying full price for all those games regardless of when I buy them unless i really wait. But if savings were my priority, I could buy watchdogs full price, hold off on TLoU untill I can get it used for half price, while I am buying destiny at full price and playing now cause it has a strong multiplayer component. Basically, you can mix and match things. its not rocket science.
And please shut up with the whole 4k nonsesne (just you derailing this thread even more tahn you already have), we all know its not mainstream yet. Because a few poeple can do it doesn't mean that everyone is doing it yet. Do you know what it means to be "mainstram"? I iwill put it this way, when a $200 GPU/$200 console can play a game like GTA, COD (whatever), Madden/FIFA at 4k on a 4k Tv that costs no ore than $500... then yes, its become mainstream. And if you can't grasp that concept, then you truly are lost.
Having said all that, why don't you just enjoy your PC gaming and leave us console gamers to keep wasting our money? Why is this all so important to you. Do you even jabe a 4k tv or a gpu capable of running games at 4k at 60fps? Unfuckingbelievable.... smh
I really will not respond to anything you say anymore, theer really is no point.

You think I have been arguing consoles being ahead of PCs? Wow. Don't know how you got there. Oh well. I will address your points though, because why not.
Cheaper 4k TVs doesn't make them mainstream and doesn't make the output of TV channels 4k overnight. It is still the general consensus that 4k won't be mainstream (read: common or widely adopted) until 2018 or 2019.
Yes the PC is a lot farther ahead, congratulations captain obvious. However, the PC isn't as accessible (which btw is what I have been arguing for those actually following along) to the casual/commonplace gamer. Which is why consoles are the driving force behind gaming.

You're taking what I said out of context.
When PCs were enjoy resolutions of 1024 x 768, you didn't hear people saying that resolution wasn't common because televisions weren't at that resolution. The 4k gaming isn't restricted to companies broadcasting televisions shows on it. 4k can easily become the PC standard long before television broadcasting ever reaches it.

Actually, you did hear people saying it wasn't common because TVs weren't that resolution. The mainstream market doesn't exist on PC based resolution it exists on TV based resolution. You can't come out of your niche to see that, and that is fine. Nothing you said has been taking out of context, you just refuse to leave your bubble.
I thought only WiiU owners aren't buying 3rd party cheap ports.
You should buy ACU at least to show you support them, otherwise why should they make a ps4 version anyway?

That's a bold claim to make. Have any sources that leave you to that conclusion?

You think it is a bold claim to make that more people base their resolution desires on their TV than they do their PC?
Ok, we are done here.

I am buying AC: U on PS4 because it looks like it will be a great game. I don't care about resolution/framerate that much. THe best games I've played run at 720p30fps, didn't stop me from immensely enjoying them.
That said you can be sure that despite the online protests this game will sell a lot on PS4.
